Changing Username For Account

[charp]

I just started a new account and was issued the standard ugly username and password. The password was easy to change via cpanel, but I don't know if it's even possible for me to change the username. Is it?

 

Someone is probably going to tell me to submit a help ticket, but I thought I'd check here first just in case.

 

Thanks!

 

EDIT:

Argggh. I misspelled account and can't change it. Sorry.

fixed.

 

 

 

No you can not change the user name unless it is vulgar

The names are like that for your security to make it harder for someone to break into your site.

Don,

 

Thanks on both accounts. No pun intended.

FYI...passwords are like that for the same reason. It's a lot easier to hack a password like "mypassword" than something like "F830sj1!3$kdxuWL".

AND with a password keeper like Any Password, you can create all of those complicated passwords and it stores your usernames too so you do not have to remember them either.
